.Thursday Must Read: Police Raid Occupy Cal; Protesters Occupy BofA in SF, Get Arrested

Stories you shouldn’t miss:

1. UC Berkeley police and other law enforcement agencies raided the new Occupy Cal encampment on campus early this morning, clearing the forty or so tents that had sprung up on Sproul Plaza, the Chron and Trib report. The Occupy Cal encampment was smaller than the night before, and easier for police to clear, because many Occupy Cal protesters were in San Francisco yesterday for a large march through the city.

2. During that San Francisco march, protesters took over a Bank of America branch and occupied it, setting up a tent inside the bank and refusing to leave, the Chron and Trib report. About 100 protesters linked themselves arm-in-arm and chanted “Shame, Shame,” until they were eventually arrested by police. Some also shouted: “Banks got bailed out, we got sold out.”
